If he hadn't slapped his thigh and shouted "I love you", Su Bei wouldn't have recognized him! "You've been living here for a month, don't you plan to go back?" Cheng Shi asked.

Gu Rui rolled his eyes and said, "I'm telling you something serious. I said I'm in love with you. Did you hear me?"

"I heard it." Cheng Shi was not interested.

Gu Rui was full of passion, "Then give me a reaction! What do you think I should do?"

"Does she love you?" Cheng Shisheng glanced at him helplessly.

"I don't know..." Gu Rui said dejectedly.

Su Bei on the roof widened his eyes instantly and turned to look at Chu Younan.

Chu Younan had no idea what she meant, so he suddenly had an idea and pointed down, signaling her to continue listening.

Cheng Shi sighed heavily, "It doesn't matter whether you love me or not, the key is whether others love you or not. Look at me..."

He didn't finish, but his dejected expression said it all.

He should still love Su Bei.

Su Bei felt sad when he heard this.

"Prince Jingnan's fiefdom is in Tongcheng. They moved here after the new emperor ascended the throne." Chu Younan whispered.

Su Bei didn't say anything.

The two people below didn't notice at all, and Gu Rui was still chattering: "I plan to take her away from Tongcheng to another place. Where do you think there are beautiful mountains and rivers, warm climate, and few wars?"

Cheng Shi glanced at him and asked, "Is she willing to go with you?"

Gu Rui suddenly dropped his head like a deflated ball.

"Chu Youyang has ascended the throne. If she goes back now, she will be the Holy Mother Empress Dowager and will enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future. Gu Rui, you'd better not waste your energy." Cheng Shi said earnestly.

Gu Rui didn't say anything.

However, the corner of Su Bei's mouth twitched.

The person Gu Rui was talking about was Empress Dowager Mei?! He had rescued her?! And he also fell in love with Empress Dowager Mei?! She was so excited that she whispered, "What the hell..."

Before he could finish his words, a shout came from afar: "The fire is coming! The fire is coming!"

The shouting drowned out her scream.

Gu Rui and Cheng Shi ran out immediately.

"It's the direction of Tianxiangyuan!" Gu Rui shouted in panic and rushed out.

Cheng Shi also had a look of panic on his face, and he ran faster than Gu Rui.

It is not difficult to imagine that Empress Dowager Mei should be the one living in Tianxiang Courtyard, but why is Cheng Shi so anxious? Could it be that he is also attracted by Empress Dowager Mei's beauty? !

Although Empress Dowager Mei was nearly forty years old, she looked only in her twenties because of her natural beauty and good maintenance. It was no surprise that Gu Rui and Cheng Shi were attracted to her.

Before Su Bei had time to think, Chu Younan had already taken her into the air.

"Go and have a look!" he said in a deep voice.

But in the blink of an eye, Chu Younan and Su Bei had already landed outside Tianxiangyuan.

"You hide, I'm going to save Queen Mother Mei!" Chu Younan rushed into the yard without hesitation.

Su Bei was about to follow in, but he saw someone sneaking in with a bucket.

The man ran past, Su Bei felt something was wrong, and wanted to follow him to see what was going on, but his feet slipped.

She looked down and found something slippery on the sole of her shoe. She put her hand on it and twisted it, and found that it was oil! Who used oil to put out a fire? !

There's something wrong with that guy! Su Bei hurriedly chased him in, and just as he was adding fuel to the fire, she grabbed him by the neck.

"Oh my god!" the man exclaimed.

Su Bei snorted coldly, "My dear, your mother didn't teach you well, and you actually came here to add fuel to the fire!"

As she spoke, she pinned the man to the ground and beat him up.

Chu Younan also rescued Queen Mother Mei.

Gu Rui then ran over, looking at the courtyard breathlessly, and shouted loudly: "Catch them quickly!"

The people he was pointing at were Chu Younan and Su Bei.

It's no wonder he did that. Two men in black standing among a group of maids and servants were really eye-catching.

Just as Su Bei was about to explain, he heard Cheng Shi suddenly shout, "Where's Su'er? Who has seen Su'er?! Hurry up and find her!"

All the maids and servants in the yard were stunned. They had to put out the fire, catch people, and look for people. Did they have superpowers?

Fortunately, Chu Younan remained calm and shouted, "Put out the fire first!"

Of course, if the fire is not suppressed, the entire Prince Jingnan’s Mansion will be burned down soon. What’s the point of catching anyone? What’s the point of looking for anyone!

Fortunately, Queen Mother Mei also recovered and said to Gu Rui: "Don't mess around! This is Prince Su!"

Gu Rui was shocked.

Cheng Shi was still wandering around.

Su Bei stepped on the person pouring the oil.

The maids and servants were in a panic.

When Prince Zhennan arrived, the fire had been put out and everyone was invited to Shiyang Pavilion. Su Bei accompanied Empress Dowager Mei, while Prince Zhennan scolded Gu Rui and Cheng Shi.

"Tell me! What's going on with you?!" Prince Zhennan was so angry that his hands were shaking.

Chu Younan sat calmly in the seat of honor and glanced coldly at Gu Rui.

Gu Rui bowed his head and said nothing.

Cheng Shi frowned and said, "I don't know what father is talking about. Su'er is missing. I want to go find her!"

"Explain to me the matter of Empress Dowager Mei first!" Prince Zhennan slammed the table.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Gu Rui had to step forward and said, "Your Majesty, don't blame the prince for this. If you want to blame someone, blame me."

"I thought you were just visiting my house for nothing, but I didn't expect you to secretly hide Empress Dowager Mei in my Prince Zhennan's mansion. You really want to kill us father and son!" Prince Zhennan was furious.

Gu Rui stopped talking again.

Chu Younan then realized that Gu Rui had concealed the identity of Empress Dowager Mei from Prince Zhennan. Empress Dowager Mei was unaware of the situation in the capital, so she was willing to pretend to be a maid. Although Cheng Shi knew the identity of Empress Dowager Mei, he did not tell her out of concern for his good friend.

Until now, Queen Mother Mei probably still thought that Chu Youheng was the one in power in the capital! Seeing this, Prince Zhennan hurriedly saluted Chu Younan, "Your Highness Prince Su, if you had known that it was Queen Mother Mei who lived in my palace, you would have sent her back earlier, but..."

Chu Younan waved his hand, "Prince Zhennan, don't worry too much. This matter has nothing to do with you. It's just that I'm afraid someone deliberately caused the fire this time. Please interrogate them clearly."

"Yes!" Prince Zhennan agreed and ordered people to bring back the man that Su Bei had captured.

Chu Younan glanced at Gu Rui and said, "Before this matter is fully investigated, please ask the King of Zhennan to properly place Queen Mother Mei to prevent anyone from harming her again."

Who knows if it is Chu Youheng's remnants who are causing trouble, we must not let our guard down.

When they were interrogating the little thief, Su Bei had already asked Empress Dowager Mei about what had happened during this period. However, Su Bei was in a dilemma as to whether he should tell the Empress Dowager Mei the truth.

It turned out that after Concubine Mei was forced to be buried alive, Gu Rui found her within three days. However, the way out of the tomb seemed difficult to find, and the two of them searched for five months relying on the tributes in the tomb.

We also stayed together in the tomb for five months.

After coming out of the tomb, Empress Dowager Mei thought that she had disobeyed the imperial edict, so she dared not say anything and let Gu Rui arrange her destination.

Su Bei didn't know whether she should say it or not because she was not sure whether Empress Dowager Mei's bulging belly was the posthumous child of the late emperor or the masterpiece of Gu Rui.
